Facts
The assessee filed an appeal for Assessment Year 2012-13 against an order of CIT(A) which arose from an order of the Assessing Officer. The assessee later informed the bench that the appeal was inadvertently filed before the ITAT Rajkot Bench, as the correct jurisdiction lies with the ITAT Ahmedabad Bench.
Held
The ITAT noted that the assessee had filed the appeal inadvertently and that the ITAT Ahmedabad Bench had already adjudicated the matter in a separate appeal. Therefore, the ITAT found no reason to proceed with the current appeal.
Key Issues
Whether the appeal was correctly filed before the ITAT Rajkot Bench, or if it was inadvertently filed, given that the matter was already adjudicated by the ITAT Ahmedabad Bench.
